After I fell in love with a vintage-inspired lace dress, I decided to incorporate a lot of vintage style with a warm romantic color palette of mint, peach, and rose gold. My vision was brought to life by the antique vintage rentals from Chicago Vintage Weddings and the stunning floral arrangements from Merci Beaucoup Floral. Both were able to bring my Pinterest boards to life!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-529076\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/5f\/79\/5f7940cf4164d50d.jpg\" alt=\"ChristopherF-Julia-Mike-17\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-529075\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/3f\/d8\/3fd895dec2dc5400.jpg\" alt=\"ChristopherF-Julia-Mike-16\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-529077\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/b7\/68\/b768a31de1840d12.jpg\" alt=\"ChristopherF-Julia-Mike-18\" width=\"600\" height=\"899\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Couple Recommends:<\/span> &ldquo;<em>Our photographer, Christopher Foltz, went above and beyond his role as a photographer and was an integral part in making our wedding day a success.
